A high-throughput method for fatty acid profiling using simultaneous microwave-assisted extraction and derivatization
13 Feb 2023In this application note, Milestone presents experimental data on the extraction and simultaneous derivatization of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in several food samples using the ETHOS™ X with SR-15 eT rotor. The composition of fatty acids in food products is a crucial parameter for evaluating their quality. Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers an efficient and competitive solution for sample preparation.

ETHOS X microwave extraction system for fat determination
MilestoneThe process of fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. The ETHOS X offers a new approach to gravimetric fat determination, moving toward a more modern, greener and more efficient approach to total fat, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and free fat determinations in food and feed matrices.
